Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone would know what kind of suspension/brake setup to use whilst setting up a Vtec mini??

Also wondering if anyone in Australia has done this conversion or is trying to complete one? If so what subframe are you using?

Cheers,
Adam

b16a or B would be the choice...

As then you have the choice of going turbo later!

if you go bigger you wont be able to get it Engineered in NSW

The B16-b is the best motor by far,
but for the same reason you will be lucky to find one
even at a horrendous price :(

You might find you could afford a B16-a and a turbo for the same price.

Hey, Thanks for the replies.
Whats the difference between the B16A and B?
Also i'm looking into the brake situation, which conversion does anyone recommend for this type of engine conversion? Honda, Camira, 'S' ??
Cheers for the info. :D

The B16b is found in the Type R - it's the ultimate in Honda 4s :D

Lots of details here:

Oh, and I would stick with the Honda theme for the brakes
but I have read that the Camira brakes are cheaper & at least as good.
